Is there a real estate tax exemption for seniors and people with disabilities? Yes, Fairfax County provides real estate tax exemption to residents who are either 65 years of age or older or permanently and totally disabled and meet the income and asset eligibility requirements.
Under the Virginia exemption system, homeowners can exempt up to $25,000 of equity in a home or other property covered by the homestead exemption. The exemption applies to real property, which includes your home or condominium and personal property used as a residence, so your mobile home would also be covered.
You qualify for this 100% homestead exemption if you meet these requirements: You own a home and occupy it as your residence homestead. You are receiving 100% disability compensation from the US Department of Veterans Affairs for a service-connected disability.
Real estate taxes are due in two equal installments. The due dates are July 28 and December 5 each year. If the due date falls on a weekend, the due date moves to the next business day. Tax bills are mailed out three to four weeks prior to the due dates.
